Synthesis of Bio-Ethanol from corn stalk by fermentation process

Abstract

Ethanol synthesis from corn stalk through fermentation process was studied. The ethanol produced was studied by various enzymatic treatment temperature and different feedstock loading in term of weight. The result shows that the highest concentration of ethanol contained in the sample was 48.90% at enzymatic temperature of 50° C. The temperature for optimum enzyme treatment have been identified as 50° C followed by 30, 40 and 60° C respectively.
